..pocToRING OLD TINE.
A Striking Picture-A Revival OF CID
Time Simplicities.

In one of Harper's issues is given a
yery fine illustration OF Roberts cell
ebrated painting. known as doctor,
ing Old Time" 1t represents typical
old-timer. with his bellows, blowing
the dust from an ancient clock, with
its cords and weights carefully secured.
One of these clocks In this generation
ia apureciated only as a rare relic.
The suggestive name, 'Doctoring
Old Time. - brings to our mind another
version of the title, used for another
purpose.-"Old Time Doctoring-"
We learn. through a reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms OF the country, las been
for wears investigating the formulas
and medicinal preparations used in the
beginning of this century. and even be
tore with a view of aScertalniTg why
people in our rgreat-grandfathers' time
enioyed a health and physical vigOr so
seldom found IN the present generation.
They now think tbey have secured the
secret or secrets They find that the
prevailing opinion that then existed,
that mature has a remedy for every
existing disorder" was true, and act
ing under this belief. our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants.
Continual trespass upon the forest do
main has made these herbs less abund
ant. and has driven them further from
civilization, until they have been dis
carded, as remedial agents because OF
the difficulty OF obtaining them.
II. Ii. Warner, proprietor OF War
ner's safe cure, and founder OF the
Warmers observatory, Rochester, n.
Y, has been pressing Investigations IN
this direction, INTO the annals OF old
| family histories, until lie has secured
some very valuable formulas from
which his firm is now preparing medi-
cines, to be sold by all druggists.
They Will, we learn, be known under
the general title of ssWarner's Log
Cabin Remedies" Among these medi-
clnes will lie a s'Sarsaparilla" for the
blood and liver, "Log Cabin Hops and
Buchu Remedy" for the stomach, etc.,
LOG Cabin Cough and Consumption
Remedy," remedy called "Scalplne, y
for the hair, "Log Cabin Extract, for
internal and external use, and an old
valuable discovery for Catarrh, called
..Loy Cabin Rose Cream" Among
the list Is also LOG Cabin Plaster
and a LOG Cabin Liver Pill"
From the number of remedies, it will
be seen that they do not propose to cuIe
all diseases with one preparation 1t
is believed by many that with these
remedies a new era is to Dawn upon
suffering humanity, and that the close
of the nineteenth century will see these
roots and herbs, as compounded under
the title of Warmers Log Cabin Rene
dies, as popular as they were at its
beginning. Although they come IN
the form of proprietary medicines, yet
they will be none the less welcome, for
suffering humanity has become tired OF
modern doctoring and the public has
great confidence In any remedies put up
by the firm Of which III. III. Warner is
the head. Tie people have become
suspicious OF the effects of doctoring
with poisonous drugs. Few realize the
injurious effects following the prescrip.
tions of many modern physicians. These
effects of poisonous drugs, already
prominent, will become more pro-
nounced III coming generations. There
fore we can cordially wish the old.
fashioned new remedies the best OF
success.
